Here are the DNF Duel version 1.06 patch notes
A surprisingly low amount of changes
A new patch for DNF Duel — version 1.06 — has dropped. Although a long list of balance adjustments felt like the general expectation of the community, the list ended up being surprisingly small.
The only fighters that received any changes were the Striker, the Grappler, the Hitman, and the Swift Master. While the Strike, the Grappler, and the Hitman only saw a change to one of their moves each, the Swift Master's changes were far more numerous.
Since the release of the game, it's been accepted that the Swift Master is by far the strongest combatant. Many of the tier lists that have been released so far have placed the Swift Master in a tier entirely by himself.
At long last, it appears that the Swift Master is receiving a number of nerfs to better keep him in check. The reduction in his MP regeneration rate, for example, will make it so that he won't be able to use certain moves quite as often.
Additionally, a number of Swift Master's moves have seen a damage reduction and a guard stun reduction. Ideally, this should reduce the easiness in which Switch Master is able to set up touch of death sequences.
